Ode to Joy is the kind of character-driven story that stays with you. It's currently available in the US on Rakuten Viki, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 6/10 rating means the audience agrees.
Character-driven storytelling at its most effective — Ode to Joy earns every emotional beat it goes for. Five independent, career-driven women living in the Ode to Joy apartment building navigate love, ambition, and personal growth as they chase fulfillment on their own terms. As they try to make it in the big city, each faces unique challenges and romantic entanglements while discovering who they truly want to be. Maggie Jiang and Yang Caiyu lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 5 seasons (2016–2024), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
If you're looking for television that takes its characters seriously and rewards patient viewing, Ode to Joy is exactly that.
